She left the foot of the bed, and went to Kieff. Her lips felt stiff and numb, but she forced them to speak. "If you have anything that will help him, give it to him now! Don't wait! Don't wait!" Kieff the impassive, nodded briefly, and took his hand from his pocket. "Wait! He is better," Burke said. But, "Don't wait! Don't wait!" whispered Sylvia. "Don't let him die like this!"
Then when Benham returned Prothero would have disappeared. When the porter was questioned about Prothero his nescience was profound. One night no Prothero was discoverable at any hour, and Benham, who wanted to discuss a project for going on to Kieff and Odessa, was alarmed. "Moscow is a late place," said Benham's student friend. "You need not be anxious until after four or five in the morning.
"When Vladímir, to convert the Russians to Christianity, caused the image of their idol Peróun to be thrown into the Dniépr, the people of Kíeff are said to have shouted 'vuiduibái, bátioushka, vuiduibái! bátioushka signifies 'father; but the rest of the exclamation has never been explained, though it has passed into a proverb."
Petersburg who so utterly beyond a doubt frizzed their scanty hair on days of grand festivals, that the three tufts pertaining to the three too slender hair pins on which they had been done up stood out in painfully isolated disagreement. What would they not have given for such splendid manes as these Kieff singers possessed! We ascended to the gallery, to obtain a better view of the scene.
And so he looked on in utter silence while Sylvia and Kieff between them administered the only thing that could ease the awful suffering that seemed greater than flesh and blood could bear. It took effect with marvellous quickness that remedy of Kieff's. It was, to Sylvia's imagination, like the casting forth of a demon. Guy's burning eyes ceased to implore her.
Kieff held out to her a small leather case. "Open it!" he said. She obeyed him though her hands were trembling. She took out the needle and syringe it contained. Burke said no more. Perhaps he realized that the cause was already lost.
These are the men of Russia, which is a great empire stretching from the gate of Prague to the gates of Kieff, the large city which is at the extremity of that empire . It is a land of mountains and forests, where there are to be found the animals called vair , ermine, and sable. No one issues forth from his house in winter-time on account of the cold.
She did not trust Kieff for a moment, but some inner conviction told her that it was his intention that she should find Guy. He did not expect her influence to overcome his. That she fully realized. He was not afraid of being superseded. Perhaps he wanted to demonstrate to her her utter weakness. Perhaps he had deeper schemes. She did not stop to imagine what they were.
M. Savélieff deduced for it a value of 3.47 from actinometrical observations made at Kieff in 1890; and Knut Ångström, taking account of the arrestive power of carbonic acid, inferred enormous atmospheric absorption, and a solar constant of four calories.
The steam-hammer pile-driver had also been used for driving the piles of the great bridge at Kieff. I next received an order for one of my largest steam hammers for the Imperial Arsenal, and it was followed by many more.
